2.Immunohistochemical Study on the Ha-ras p21 Expression in the Gastric Carcinoma.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1990;24(1):1-9
We have investigated an immunohistochemical expression of the Human-Ha-ras oncogene product p21 in tumor cells of the primary mass and metastatic lymph nodes with different histological features of gastric cancer by using avidinbiotin complex immunoperoxidase method in formalin-fixed tissue sections from 73 cases of primary tumor mass and 23 cases of metastatic lymph node. Histologic type of the gastric cancer was classification. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Expression of Ha-ras p21 was consistantly increased in the well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma as compared with poorly differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (p<0.01), and was substantially decreased in mucinous carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma. 2) Signet ring cell carcinoma showed that positive immunoperoxidase reaction for Ha-ras p21 exhibited in the majority of immature signet ring cell with scant cytoplasm rather than in the mature signet ring cells which have abundant cytoplasm filled with mucin. This findings indicate that mucin production from the tumor cell was not correlated with activation of ras gene in the tumor tissue of gastric carcinoma. 3) In general Ha-ras p21 expression was enhanced in the metastatic tumor cells of the regional lymph node compared with primary tumor, especially it was consistantly increase in the well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: The wall of ovarian dermoid cysts shows various kinds of morphologic patterns. Some of them resemble the features of epidermal and epidermal appendageal tumors. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to classify the morphologic features of the wall of ovarian dermoid cyst from the dermatohistopathologic viewpoint. METHODS: H&E stained slides of 203 ovarian dermoid cysts were reviewed RESULTS: Thirteen different patterns of morphologic features were found. They included features of organoid nevus, sebaceous hyperplasia, steatocystoma multiplex, epidermoid cyst, nevus comedonicus, epidermal nevus, apocrine hidrocystoma, syringoma and trichilemmal cyst. CONCLUSION: Various epidermal and epidermal appendageal tumors may be associated with ovarian dermoid cyst.

4.Variations of the Transposition Flap for Facial Reconstruction after Mohs Micrographic Surgery of the Basal Cell Carcinoma.
Annals of Dermatology 1995;7(2):134-137
BACKGROUND: The transposition flap is one of the most useful methods of facial reconstruction after Mohs micrographic surgery of the basal cell carcinoma, but occasionally some variations are needed. OBJECTIVE: We present our experience with several variations of the transposition flap to overcome the disadvantages of classic rhomboid flaps. METHODS: We performed the Webster 30-degree angle flap on the lower eyelid, the double 30-degree angle flap on the temple area and the nasolabial flap on the ala nasi. RESULTS: These variations of the transposition flap gave no complications such as ectropion, tissue distortion, protrusion, or trapdoor deformity. CONCLUSION: The variations of the transposition flap in our cases might be of help in selecting the ideal method in facial reconstruction.

A microvascular osteocutaneous free flap is totally detached from its origin and reattached at a distant site, in one stage, by the use of microvascular anastomosis to maintain its viability. The advantages of microvascular osteocutaneous free flap trsnsfer are more rapid healing, greater resistance to infection, less risk of absorption than conventional bone grafts, and shortened hospitalization. Two cases of microvascular osteocutaaeous free flap transfer were performed at the department of Orthopaedic surgery of Hanyang University Hospital, and satisfactory results were obtained.

We report a case of an uncommon cutaneous neoplasm of nerve sheath myxoma in a 25-year-old woman who had a papule on the left cheek of her face. The histologic findings of the lesion showed that lobulated tumors were composed of spindle shaped and stellate tumor cells in an abundant matrix of mucosubstances. The electron microscopic findings showed numerous cytoplasmic myelin figures, and interdigitating long cytoplasmic processes. 5-100 protein was not discovered and alcian blue and PAS stain showed positive. After surgical excision of tumor, the patient did not have any evidence of disease for one year.

On a total 233 sera from the VDRL reactive patients without a history of syphilitic symptoms or treatment for syphilis, TPHA and 19S(IgM)-FTA tests were performed, Also the reactivities of the 19 S (IgM)-FTA test in relation to the VDRL and the TPHA titers were observed. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Among 233 sera, 103 sera(44%) showed negative results in the 19S(IgM)- FTA test. 2. Reactivities of the 19 S(IgM)-FTA test were significantly increased in relation to the VDRL, titers arnong 233 sera reactive in the VDRL test: 47% in the VDRL titer 1: 1, 61% in 1: 2, 71% in 1: 4, 62% in 1: 8, 96% 1: 16 or more. 3. There was no relationship statistically (IgM)-FTA test and the TPHA titers. It can be derived from the above results that when a person with no history of treatment for syphilis and clear of any signs of syphilis shows a positive reaction in the VDRL test, he is less likey to be a syphilis patient when the VDRL titer is low.
